Abstract
An apparatus and method for the analysis, marking and summing of audio channel content and control data, the apparatus and method generating a summed signal carrying combined audio content, marking and summing data in the summed signal.
Claims24
An apparatus for the analysis, marking and summing of audio channel content and control data, the apparatus comprising:
- an at least one audio channel marking component to extract from an at least one audio channel delivering a signal carrying encoded audio content signal-specific characteristics and channel-specific control information, and to generate from the extracted control information and signal characteristics channel-specific marking data;
- an at least one audio summing component to sum the signal delivered via the at least one audio channel into a summed signal, and to generate signal summing control information;
- and
- an at least one marking and summing embedding component to insert the generated marking data and summing data into the summed signal;
- thereby, generating a summed signal carrying combined audio content, marking and summing data into the summed signal.

A method for the analysis marking and summing of audio content, the method comprising:
- analyzing an at least one signal carrying audio content and traffic control data delivered via an at least one audio channel to generate channel-specific control data, and signal-specific spectral characteristics;
- generating channel-specific marking control data from the channel-specific control data and the signal-specific spectral features vector data;
- summing the at least one signal carrying audio content into a summed signal;
- and generating summation control data;
- and
- embedding the channel-specific control data, the segment-specific summation data, and the signal-specific spectral features vector data into the summed signal;
- thereby, generating a summed signal carrying combined audio content, channel-specific control data, segment-specific summation data, and spectral features vector data into the summed signal.
